Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese and the Mafia. Every movie buff knows they're ingredients that have been mixed together more than a few times, but it's (almost) always a worthwhile combination.

A little more than a week after the Rolling Stones wrapped up a pair of weekend concerts at Hyde Park, an album documenting the events is now available on iTunes.

His contributions were so important that the band insisted he join them as a posthumous inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

In addition to barbecues, vacations and oppressive humidity, July always brings with it a spell of best-of-the-year-so-far lists.

The Rolling Stones announced that Taylor Swift will join them tonight (June 3) for the third of three shows in Chicago, Ill. Previous special guests for the dates at the United Center included Sheryl Crow on May 31 and bluesman Taj Mahal on May 28.

Taylor Swift joined the Rolling Stones onstage at Chicago's United Center last night (June 3) to perform 'As Tears Go By' -- and of course, dance a bit with Mick Jagger.
